About the book: 2010 / Regis Debreu is a famous French left-wing political theorist, ally of Che Guevara and adviser to President Francois Mitterrand. In 1990, he proposed the term “mediology” to designate a new doctrine about the means of transmitting knowledge and traditions, that is, cultural goods. In his work “Introduction to Mediology” (2000), Debray, drawing on the achievements of modern French philosophical and social scientific thought, offers a wide range of new concepts and approaches designed to explain the processes of communication occurring in the modern world. The purpose of mediaology is not to convey any there were no messages. It is content to study the processes by which a message is sent, circulates, and “finds its addressee.” It does not contribute to the spread of any faith. It seeks only to help understand how and through what organizing principles we believe. It is not a doctrine related to any foundation. It is limited to asking questions about the conditions for the rise of doctrines (religious, political or moral) and about the reasons for the emergence of scientific authority. This platform for criticism, it goes without saying, represents the exact opposite of the “grand narrative” of those who lulled us into dreams of a better life. Mediology brings neither good news, nor liberation, nor healing. It does not promise the slightest excess of power, prestige or happiness. Nor does it promise rise in society. In contrast to most of the “scientific ideologies” that have shaped schools and authority since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, mediology can be considered neither an authority nor a panacea. And if mediology can - here and there - carry out a more precise targeting of still vague zones of social life, then it is still sufficiently aware of the formation of ideas, and therefore, on the one hand, does not question the effectiveness of scientific criticism, but on the other hand the other does not imagine that the gain gained in the sphere of knowledge can have a spontaneous liberating effect in relation to our collective delirium.
